cache#

View and manage Feluda’s license cache to optimize scans and stay under rate limits.

Overview#

Feluda caches GitHub license responses under .feluda/cache/github_licenses.json to stay under rate limits and speed up repeated scans.

View Cache Status#

Inspect cache statistics like size and freshness.

feluda cache

Feluda prints the cache location, the number of entries, and whether the cache is still valid.

Output includes:

  • Cache file location

  • Number of cached entries

  • Cache age and validity status

  • Last update timestamp

Clear the Cache#

Remove stale or corrupted cache data.

feluda cache --clear

Feluda deletes the cache file so the next scan starts fresh with remote data.

Options:

Flag

Description

--clear

Delete the cache file and start fresh

Cache Behavior#

Tip

Cache files older than 30 days refresh automatically, but explicit clears help when switching GitHub identities.

When to clear the cache:

  • After changing GitHub tokens or identities

  • When license data seems stale or incorrect

  • After upgrading Feluda to a new version

  • When debugging unexpected license detection results

Cache location:

The cache is stored at .feluda/cache/github_licenses.json relative to the scanned project directory.
